Appropriate methods for determining first strike are as follows: Best-of-one Rock-Paper-Scissors Highest Game & Watch Hammer Number Starter Stage Strikes Before game one of a set, the player who strikes first (as determined above) will strike one Starter stage. The other player then strikes two Starter stages. The player who strikes first will then select a stage from the remaining two Starter stages.

The winner of the previous game will select a character to use in the next game first, followed by the loser of the previous match.

Stage Counter-picks

The winner of the previous game will strike two legal stages.* The loser of the previous game will then select from the remaining stages.

Strikes are different than bans; strikes only last for one game.
